2 Facts

2.1 Interesting Facts

Major mining countries of Uranium include Russia, Australia, Namibia, Canada and Niger and total 33% Uranium are mine in Kazakhstan.

Vanadium is a highly reactive metal, hence it is not found free in nature.
Vanadium can be found in almost 65 different types of minerals.

4 Uses

4.1 Uses & Benefits

The main use of this metal include nuclear fuel which is used to generate electricity yin nuclear power stations.
Synthetic elements like transuranium are made from Uranium metal.

Its ally with steel is used very tough and hence it is used in armor plates, axles, piston rods, tools and crankshafts.
Its oxide is used as pigments for glass and ceramics.
